See every featureSmart Variant Kit replaces Shopify's default variant picker with powerful variant tables, matrix, compact, and card layouts. Create reusable presets, apply product or collection rules, and let customers compare prices, stock, images, and select multiple variants in one click.
Variants+ extends native variant capabilities with tools that streamline product management. The duplicate variants feature lets you quickly create new variants by copying existing ones into different option values, preserving pricing, inventory, media, shipping settings, and metafields. This eliminates manual data entry when adding new sizes, colors, or other option values to existing products.
